In 1976, the Whear children come
together to pack up the estate of their parent’s after their Mother passes
away. They find hidden on a shelf in their Mother’s closet her journals that
she started to write in 1920. What they discover about their parents, they
never new.

Come back to 1920. Catherine Pieper is a
country woman, married to her first husband, a gambler and drunk, who abuses
her and treats her ill. Through an event that she feels is preposterous, she is
thrown into a situation that if she doesn’t participate could lose her home,
Layne Hall.

In a school for woman, Catherine meets
James Whear. He teaches her many things and treats her with kindness. James is
working off a debt owed to the schools director, Jacob Mansfield. His father,
also a gambler, died leaving the family estate, Whear Hall, in the clutches of
Jacob. She is his last client and after she’s finished, his family home will
return to him.

As their feelings for one another grow
deeper, the time comes for her to leave and return to her abusive husband. Will
they be able to find their way back to one another? Learn what the secrets
hold.
